Biogas: A Sustainable Alternative Amidst the Global Fuel Crisis and War Impact



By Dr. A. Sajidas Managing Director, BIOTECH INDIA Renewable Energy International Consultant – Biogas, Organic Waste Management & Sustainable Development.

The Hidden Cost of War: Fuel Infrastructure Destruction

Armed conflicts and geopolitical wars are not only humanitarian disasters—they also directly impact global energy security. One common strategy during war is the destruction of enemy petroleum drilling sites and oil refineries. While this may serve military goals, the long-term environmental and economic fallout is devastating. 



Burning oil wells release vast quantities of toxic gases, black smoke, and unburnt hydrocarbons into the atmosphere. This results in air pollution, contributes to climate change, and leaves a permanent ecological scar. In addition to environmental damage, such actions lead to global oil shortages and fuel price inflation.

Declining Petroleum Reserves: A Ticking Time Bomb




Even in peaceful times, the world’s petroleum resources are finite. Scientific reports indicate that conventional fossil fuel reserves, including crude oil, are diminishing at a rapid pace due to overconsumption and overdependence.

As petroleum extraction continues without sustainable alternatives in place, the world moves closer to a severe energy crisis. Countries across the globe are now compelled to seek renewable energy solutions like solar, wind, and biogas to address the looming energy shortfall.

Fuel Price Hikes and the Burden on Common People


The destruction of oil wells, reduced petroleum output, and geopolitical uncertainty cause a surge in global fuel prices. This impacts the availability of essential petroleum products like LPG cylinders, especially in developing countries.


For the average household, cooking gas becomes costlier, leading to increased monthly expenses. The situation is worsened by supply chain disruptions and import dependency, especially in countries with limited domestic oil production.

Biogas: The Best Alternative to LPG for Cooking Fuel

One of the most practical and environment-friendly solutions to this crisis is biogas, which can be produced locally from organic waste. Biogas is generated through the anaerobic digestion of:

Kitchen waste

Food leftovers

Vegetable peels

Animal waste

Agricultural residue

This clean, renewable cooking gas can replace or supplement LPG in households and institutions, reducing LPG consumption by over 50%.

Benefits of Biogas for Households and Institutions


Biogas is not just a substitute; it’s a sustainable lifestyle shift with wide-ranging benefits:

1. Cost Savings

Using biogas reduces the dependency on expensive LPG cylinders. Over time, monthly fuel expenses can be significantly reduced.

2. Waste Management

Biogas systems effectively process daily organic waste, reducing landfill burden and improving community hygiene.

3. Fertilizer Output

The by-product of biogas production, known as bio-slurry, is an excellent organic fertilizer that can enhance soil fertility and reduce usage of chemical fertilizer.

4. Climate Action

Using biogas reduces methane emissions and lowers the carbon footprint, making it a powerful tool for fighting climate change.

Home Biogas Plants: A Step Toward Energy Self-Reliance

With global fuel prices fluctuating unpredictably, families are now considering home-scale biogas systems as a reliable solution. Even small households generate sufficient kitchen waste to produce daily cooking gas.

Installing a compact domestic biogas plant helps households:

Become energy self-reliant

Avoid rising LPG costs

Manage organic waste efficiently

Adopt sustainable practices

Institutional Biogas Plants: A Scalable Green Solution




Schools and colleges

Hospitals and hostels

Hotels and restaurants

Municipal buildings

Community kitchens

…generate large quantities of biodegradable waste every day. By setting up institutional biogas plants, these establishments can save on fuel costs, manage waste on-site, and contribute to environmental sustainability.
